The events calendar is down — for now?

Lately, we’ve experienced *too much trouble* with Apartment613’s community events calendar. Organizers write in—it feels like every day now—to ask for help with the events submission form. (Recurring events are a nightmare. Feature image specs are complicated. The category/tag options straight up just stopped working some time this summer.)

Yes: Apt613 employs a small part-time staff.

However, their role is intended to support 75+ volunteer contributors, edit the blog, organize meet-ups, and pay the web hosting bills. It takes several hours (weekly) to moderate and troubleshoot the events calendar these days… The cost is simply eating too much of Apt613’s limited budget. We could host events or attend yours instead. Just please be patient while we figure this calendar thing out. It’s not “bye,” just “bye for now.”

No: We will not fall short on our promise to share local arts and culture happenings on the blog and @apt613 social.

While we have you… Can you take two minutes to respond to this poll? We want your input toward a solution. Our readers survey results say the people want a calendar… but the website analytics can tell another story.
